1 STAFF REPORT
2/26/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Gabriel Perez, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: Coachella Rail Station Feasibility Study Update and Station Evaluation Results
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Coachella Rail Station Feasibility Study Update and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Coachella and Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) submitted a joint application to Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) Regional Early Action Planning 2.0 (REAP 2.0) program for the Rail Station Feasibility Study and Integrated Land Use and Transit Network. The project includes conducting a transit station feasibility study and visioning plan to support the proposed Coachella Valley – San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Service Tier II environmental work that would be undertaken by RCTC. On June 13, 2023, SCAG awarded the City of Coachella and RCTC $2,005,000 for the Coachella Rail Station Feasibility Study and Integrated Land Use and Transit Network REAP Application.
Coachella rail station feasibility planning efforts commenced in September of 2024 with RCTC and the consultant team led by HDR and subconsultant partners consisting of Sargent Town planning, Inc., Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc, AMMA Transit Planning, and Michael Baker International. The scope of the study includes site selection for a passenger rail station, land use and transportation planning for the selected site, and an economic analysis.
A technical advisory committee (TAC) was established of local stakeholders and meets quarterly help guide planning and community outreach for the study. The first step in the rail station study is to evaluate the viability of possible Coachella rails station sites. The update to the Planning Commission is intended to discuss the evaluation findings for identification of the preferred site The study does not guarantee the Coachella rail station location for the rail service, but will serve to inform RCTC and responsible agencies about the feasibility of the station in Coachella as environmental review and planning for the rail service continues.
Item 5.
2 DISCUSSION:
The TAC has met on two occasions since the study commencement to discuss outreach, study goals, and preliminary feedback on the sites to be evaluated. The first community workshop for the study was held on Thursday evening, November 21, 2025 at the Coachella library to obtain community feedback on three potential sites for the rail station as follows:
Site 1 (Gateway Center) generally located North of the Grapefruit Boulevard/Cesar Chavez Street intersection.
Site 2 (Pueblo Viejo) generally located in the Pueblo Viejo or Downtown area between Avenue 50 and Avenue 52.
Site 3 (Tyler Street) generally located South of Avenue 52 near the intersection of Grapefruit Boulevard and Tyler Street.
The following categories were identified as rail station evaluation criteria to assess the three rail stion sites:
Rail engineering feasibility
Station element feasibility
Item 5.
3 Land Use/development compatibility
Environmental constraints
Accessibility/ connectivity
Equity and environmental justice
Ridership potential
Costs
Conceptual drawings were developed for the site evaluation that includes a station building (minimum 500 sq. ft.), parking (22 parking spaces), bus bays (2 bay minimum), and pick-up/dropoff facilities (space of 8 vehicles) at each station site. The study also assumes access across the railroad tracks to platforms on each side of the tracks would be provided by a pedestrian bridge.
The Coachella Valley Rail Service Development Plan identifies the Coachella rail station building would be a Category 3 Caretaker Station that serves between 20,000 and 100,000 annual passengers and is a station type that is not regularly staffed. A layover site is also required as Coachella would serve as the end of the line for the proposed rail service.
Site 2 in Pueblo Viejo was identified as the station site in the Site Evaluation Technical Memorandum (Attachment 1) that scored highest based on the evaluation criteria, has the least engineering constraints and presents the most benefits. Pueblo Viejo is also the location of the original Southern Pacific Railroad combination type 23, 1-story depot built in 1903 for passenger and freight services, but demolished in the 1970s. The next phase of the rail station feasibility study will include development of station area plans and preliminary station design plans.

1 Introduction
The Coachella Rail Station Feasibility Study will identify the City of Coachella’s (City) preferred site for the terminal station of the proposed Coachella Valley Rail service. The final selection of the preferred alternative and final station locations will be determined in the National Environmental Policy Act/ California Environmental Quality Act (NEPA/CEQA) Coachella Valley Rail Tier II/Project Environmental Document, which is being led by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) under the oversight of the Federal Railroad Administration and California Department of Transportation Division of Rail. The analysis and information in this study and that of other cities who have conducted similar studies will help determine the final selection of the preferred alternative during the formal NEPA/CEQA process conducted by the parties identified above. Federal and state environmental laws and procedures will be followed. Additionally, location of tracks for Coachella Valley (CV) Rail are subject to negotiations and agreements with the host railroad, which to date have not been completed. This study contains assumptions and suggests sites and design features that may change based on detailed technical studies in the NEPA/CEQA process and negotiations with the host railroad. This feasibility study does not commit the City to the approval or construction of any particular station location. Furthermore, until and unless further study, design, and information regarding the potential station locations are developed, there is not yet enough information available to conduct meaningful environmental review. Accordingly, the City’s preparation and acceptance of this feasibility study does not constitute an approval of any action that might constitute a “project” or an “action” under CEQA or NEPA.
Several potential sites were screened and three viable sites were carried forward for further evaluation, as documented in the Existing Conditions Memo. For each viable site, conceptual station footprints and track alignments have been developed based on applicable design criteria and the site constraints, and high-level station access plans have been developed. These form the basis for evaluating and comparing the costs and benefits of the alternative sites. Evaluation criteria were identified in coordination with the City, RCTC, and the technical advisory committee (TAC), and each site was scored against each criterion.
As shown in Figure 1, the following three sites were evaluated:
• Site 1 is located north of Avenue 50 across Grapefruit Boulevard from the Gateway Center shopping mall.
• Site 2 is located at the north end of Pueblo Viejo, between 2nd Street and 5th Street. • Site 3 is located south of Avenue 52 near Tyler Street and is surrounded by vacant land.

2 Evaluation Criteria and Data Sources
2.1 Development of the Criteria
The proposed passenger rail station in Coachella should both reflect the needs and desires of the community and meet certain requirements for optimal operation. The project team engaged with a TAC to discuss study goals, evaluation criteria, and proposed site selection, and held a community workshop for community members to learn about the study, discuss the site selection process, and gather feedback to shape the future of the Coachella Rail Station. The TAC included representatives from the City, RCTC, the Cabazon Band of Cahuilla Indians, the Coachella Valley Water District, Anthony Vineyards, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, SunLine Transit Agency, Inland Congregations United for Change, Peter Rabbit Farms, and the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition.
The project team then worked with RCTC and City staff to finalize evaluation criteria to assess each site, integrating feedback from the TAC and community as well as incorporating technical requirements based on the Coachella Valley Rail Service Development Plan (SDP) and local existing conditions.
The TAC provided input on what the rail station role should be, potential goals of the station and its effects on the surrounding area, and their preliminary thoughts on the three proposed sites. The TAC generally agreed that:
Item 5.
DRAFT Site Evaluation Technical Memorandum
Coachella Rail Station Feasibility Study
January 2025 | 3
• The station should serve as town center, promoting economic development and city pride. • The station should increase accessibility for low-income communities. • The station should promote better environmental health for the community. • The station should promote more regional connectivity to other CV communities.
A public workshop was held on November 21, 2025, at the Coachella Branch Library from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The public workshop was an open house format and gathered community input on a variety of topics related to the study, including examples of stations, land use and circulation, study goals, evaluation factors, rail corridor characteristics, and potential locations. The project team asked participants to select their top three study goals from a list of 10 goals by placing a dot next to their selections. In addition, an online survey was available for four weeks after the workshop. Table 1 shows the combined results of the in-person exercise and online survey.

The project team and City staff also considered the technical requirements and local existing conditions, as documented in the Existing Conditions Memo, when developing evaluation criteria. This included consideration of rail and station operations, multimodal connectivity including connection to SunLine bus services, site-specific environmental factors, and alignment with existing City plans for land use, equity, and environmental justice.
2.2 Criteria Chosen
The project team worked with City staff to integrate the factors above along with technical requirements and developed a final list of evaluation criteria. The criteria considered included project-specific requirements for rail and station operations, environmental constraints, local area and community impacts, and costs. The selected criteria categories are:
• Rail engineering feasibility;
• Station element feasibility;
• Land use/development compatibility;
• Environmental constraints;

3 Station Conceptual Plans
To evaluate station element feasibility, the project team developed test-fit conceptual drawings to demonstrate the feasible inclusion of a station building, parking, bus bays, and pick-up/drop-off facilities at each station site. Union Pacific Railroad has indicated that stations should have platform edges on all main tracks. In a three-track configuration, the most cost-effective way to achieve this is one center platform and one side platform. For the purposes of assessing feasibility at this stage, it was assumed that access across the tracks to each platform would be provided with a pedestrian bridge.
These drawings are not intended as final designs but serve as proof-of-concept that required station elements can be accommodated at each station site. See Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4. The design of the station site for the City-preferred alternative will be further developed in a later stage of this project.

3.1 Site 1: Gateway Center Station
The conceptual plan for Site 1 (Gateway Center), shown in Figure 2, includes a center platform between the eastern track (Main Track 1) and central track (Main Track 2), with a side platform adjacent to the new third main track (Main Track 3). Main Track 1 would be shifted to accommodate the new center platform and Main Track 2 would remain in place and operational during construction.
This configuration differs from the other two sites due to the physical constraints on the amount of land available on the west side of the site, approximately 75 feet between the existing track edge and Grapefruit Boulevard (whereas Sites 2 and 3 have between 100 and 125 feet of land). Bus transfer facilities are provided as bus pullouts on Grapefruit Boulevard, with space for three buses northbound and, utilizing the existing infrastructure, one bus southbound. Parking is organized in a linear, diagonal orientation, extending northwest from the site. The station building is located opposite the entrance to Gateway Center shopping center, adjacent to a pedestrian bridge used to access the platforms. New high-visibility crosswalks provide pedestrian access to the site. A future phase of the Connect Coachella Project Class I Bikeway will run parallel to Grapefruit Boulevard, be shifted east around the bus pullouts, and run between the parking lot and Grapefruit Boulevard.
3.2 Site 2: Pueblo Viejo Station
The conceptual plan for Site 2 (Pueblo Viejo), shown in Figure 3, includes a center platform between Main Tracks 2 and 3, with a side platform on the east side of Main Track 1. Main Track 1 would be shifted to accommodate an intertrack fence and Main Track 2 would remain in place and operational during construction. The platforms would be accessed via a centrally located pedestrian bridge, roughly aligned with 3rd Street. The site is located on the northern side of Pueblo Viejo to provide sufficient clearance to an existing control point and universal crossover farther south (near 9th Street).1 A bus loop with three bus bays is provided to the north of the pedestrian bridge and a parking lot is located to the south. The station building is adjacent to the pedestrian bridge. An existing high-visibility crosswalk at 4th Street provides pedestrian access. The existing Connect Coachella Project Class I Bikeway, which runs parallel to Grapefruit Boulevard, will remain with new crossings across station access driveways for the bus bays and parking lot.
3.3 Site 3: Tyler Street Station
The conceptual plan for Site 3 (Tyler Street), shown in Figure 4, includes a center platform between Main Tracks 2 and 3, with a side platform on the east side of Main Track 1. Main Track 1 would be shifted to accommodate an intertrack fence and Main Track 2 would remain in place and operational during construction. The platforms are accessed via a centrally located pedestrian bridge, which is positioned between a bus loop with three bus bays to the north and a parking lot to the south. The station building is in front of the pedestrian bridge. A new high-visibility crosswalk at the proposed Tyler Street roundabout provides pedestrian access. A future phase of the Connect Coachella Project 1 A control point is location where railroad signals control whether a train can proceed from one segment of track to the next. A crossover is a connection that allows a train to move from track to another. A universal crossover is a pair of crossovers that allows trains in both directions to move.

Class I Bikeway will run parallel to Grapefruit Boulevard and be shifted west around the parking lot and station building, before continuing north next to the bus bays and Grapefruit Boulevard. 4 Evaluation Results
4.1 Rail Engineering Feasibility
4.1.1 Physical Constraints
All three sites have sufficient space to accommodate the proposed third main track, a new center platform, a new side platform, and a pedestrian bridge. The strip of land between the existing tracks and Grapefruit Boulevard is narrowest for Site 1, and this provides limited room to accommodate additional station elements or further expansion, as described further in Section 4.2.
The only existing station in the Coachella Valley is in a remote area of Palm Springs and experiences frequent problems due to windblown sand. Sand blown onto and covering tracks, switches, and platforms can present operational challenges and safety concerns for passengers disembarking trains.
Coachella does not have the unique geography of the Palm Springs station location, which experiences particularly high winds and is surrounded by undeveloped desert. Site 1 has evidence of windblown sand on vacant land on the east side of the railroad. Site 2 is surrounded by developed land that is unlikely to contribute to windblown sand issues. Site 3 has vacant land on both sides that could be sources of windblown sand.
4.1.2 Operational Constraints
All sites carried forward from the initial screening would be located on tangent track and an appropriate distance from existing signal equipment. Sites 1 and 2 have an existing crossover between the station and proposed layover facility near Tyler St, allowing trains to travel easily between any platform and the facility. Without a crossover between Site 3 and the proposed facility, trains would need to travel the opposite direction to the crossover, then change direction, occupying the mainline for several minutes. This operational impact could be mitigated by adding a control point and new crossovers to provide direct access to the facility, which would increase project cost. Alternatively, if the layover facility were placed north of the crossover at potential location east of the tracks near Harrison Street, trains from Site 3 would only need to change direction once.
4.1.3 Flexibility in Layover Site Options
The preferred layover facility site is on the west side of the tracks south of Tyler Street. For Sites 1 and 2, trains would be able to access this site from all station tracks using the existing universal crossover (and proposed extensions to the new third main track). This facility has the potential to be expanded beyond a single track by realigning Grapefruit Boulevard between Tyler Street and existing uses north of Avenue 54. Placement of the facility on the east side of tracks south of Avenue 52 is feasible, but it is likely that most trains would need to move across all three tracks from the new third main track, which will likely be the primary track for passenger operations.
Item 5.
DRAFT Site Evaluation Technical Memorandum
Coachella Rail Station Feasibility Study
January 2025 | 11
Placement of the facility in the preferred location west of the tracks and south of Avenue 52 is feasible for Site 3 but would need to be shifted further south compared to Sites 1 and 2 to provide sufficient distance between the station and facility. This would not provide sufficient length to realign Grapefruit Boulevard in order to accommodate a facility larger than a single track. Furthermore, the preferred layover site would only be directly accessible from Site 3 via the third main track unless a new control point and new crossovers are also constructed. If Site 3 is selected, placement of the facility on the east side of the railroad is possible but would need to be either north of the station on the vacant site east of Site 1 or further south of the station with construction of an additional control point and new crossovers.

4.2 Station Element Feasibility
4.2.1 Station Building
The size of the station building is assumed to be approximately 500 square feet for evaluation purposes. The Coachella Valley Rail SDP identified the Coachella Station as being a “Category 3:
Caretaker” station as classified by Amtrak. A Category 3 Caretaker Station typically serves between 20,000 and 100,000 annual passengers and is typical of small cities and towns. Caretaker services are usually provided by the local community or state agency, including janitorial and maintenance services. This station type is not regularly staffed and includes self-service ticketing machines. The
Item 5.

size of the waiting area and ticketing area was calculated following the Amtrak Station Program and Planning Guide. Two ADA restrooms were added and the resulting total square footage was rounded to the nearest 10 square feet for an approximation of size (Table 5).

Station Element Square Feet
Seated Passenger Area 192.7
Standing Passenger Area 96.4
Ticketing Area 104
ADA Single Bathrooms (2) 100
Total 493.1
Each station site has sufficient space to include a Station Building of this size within the rail right-ofway (ROW).
4.2.2 Parking
The Coachella Valley Rail SDP initially identified a need for 22 parking spaces at Coachella Station.
However, upon updates to the service plan and an increase in the proposed number of daily trains, the number of required parking spaces has been increased to 32 general parking spaces and 2 ADA spaces.
All three sites have sufficient space to accommodate the proposed number of parking spaces.
However, the strip of land between the existing tracks and Grapefruit Boulevard is narrowest for Site 1, which provides limited room to accommodate parking, necessitating a long, narrow parking lot that includes parallel spaces to meet this requirement.
4.2.3 Bus Bays
The Coachella Valley Rail SDP initially identified a need for up to three bus bays at Coachella Station.
In consultation with RCTC and the City of Coachella, the number of bus bays required has been revised to two.
Station Sites 2 and 3 can accommodate full bus loops with space for three bus bays in a sawtooth design. Due to the limitations of Site 1, a bus loop with bus bays could not be accommodated, so instead, bus pullouts off northbound Grapefruit Boulevard are shown, and the station also utilizes the existing southbound bus pullout across the street.
4.2.4 Pick-up/Drop-off
The Coachella Valley Rail SDP initially identified a need for eight short-term parking spaces for Kissand-Ride, taxis, and transportation network companies. A pick-up/drop/off facility that can accommodate eight vehicles will be proposed, as either separate short-term parking spaces, linear curb of approximately 200 feet (25 feet per vehicle), or a combination thereof.
All station sites can accommodate eight short-term parking spaces within the parking lot, between the ADA spaces and long-term parking stalls. However, due to the limitations of Site 1, this

accommodation creates a long, narrow parking lot and longer walking distances for passengers to the platforms. None of the sites is large enough to accommodate a fully separated Pick-Up/Drop-Off loop or curb space.

4.3 Land Use/Development Compatibility
4.3.1 Consistency with Plans and Policies
Compatibility of each site with the City’s plans and policies was assessed by analyzing land use designations around each site in Coachella’s General Plan. Site 1 has little potential for transit-oriented development (TOD) under current land use/zoning designations, as shown in Figure 5. Much of the area is designated for industrial use and is currently occupied by a date orchard. Site 2 has significant potential for TOD under current land use/zoning designations (Figure 6), which support both residential and commercial development. For Site 3, TOD potential under current land use/zoning lies only on the periphery of the half-mile radius from the station site, as shown in Figure 7, with the immediate station area designated for heavy industrial or general commercial uses. These uses are compatible with a layover facility, but industrial uses are not ideal for a vibrant station area.

4.3.2 Potential for Transit-Oriented Development
TOD potential was assessed for each site considering the existing uses in the area and planned land use designations. Nearby strip commercial centers on the west side of Site 1 are not likely to redevelop and the potential growth area immediately east of the railroad is designated for industrial use. Vacant property designated general commercial does not provide for residential use. The Pueblo Viejo Revitalization Plan provides for mixed-use around Site 2, and the General Plan provides for mixeduse in the growth area immediately east of the railroad. The majority of vacant developable land around Site 3 is designated for industrial use, with some land designated for general commercial, neither of which allow for residential use. Urban Employment and Urban Neighborhood districts have the potential to accommodate high-density housing but are on the periphery of the half-mile radius from the station site. Land around Sites 1 and 3 could potentially be rezoned to be more supportive of TOD, but this would be an additional step that would likely not be needed for TOD around Site 2 and would create two competing downtown areas rather than one focal point for investment.
4.3.3 Economic Development Potential
To determine the economic development potential ratings for each site, local zoning data were analyzed. Commercial zoning areas were mapped and quantified within a quarter-mile radius of each station site. The total percentage of commercial zones was calculated for each site based on square footage, as shown in Table 7, and ratings were assigned on a scale from “Worse” to “Better.” Site 1 Gateway and Site 2 Pueblo Viejo received a “Better” rating due to their higher percentages of zoned commercial areas. In contrast, Tyler Street received a “Worse” rating based on its lower percentage of commercial zoning.

4.4 Environmental Constraints
4.4.1 Biological Resources
The potential for biological resources was determined based upon proximity to a Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan conservation area.2 None of the three sites is located within or adjacent to a conservation area associated with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan. None of the three sites function as a wildlife corridor or biological linkage area.
4.4.2 Cultural Resources
Cultural resources potential was evaluated for the three sites using information from the City’s 2015 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Historic resources, as defined by the City’s General Plan EIR, are standing structures of historic or aesthetic significance that are generally 50 years of age or older, or resources listed in or eligible for listing in registers of historic resources. Historic resources considered for protection in California tend to focus on architectural sites dating from the Spanish Period (1529–1822) through the early years of the Depression (1929–1930). Site 1 and Site 3 were identified as having a medium sensitivity for historic resources. Site 2 was identified as having a potentially high sensitivity level for historic resources. Site 2 is located within the historic core of the city, where historic structures have been previously identified. 2 Coachella Valley Association of Governments, Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Open Data Portal, https://mshcp-cvag.hub.arcgis.com/.

Paleontological resources, as identified by the City’s General Plan EIR, include fossil remains and represent a limited, nonrenewable, and impact-sensitive scientific and educational resource. The three sites were identified as having an undetermined sensitivity level for paleontological resources.
Archaeological resources, as defined by the City’s General Plan EIR, pertain to places where human activity has measurably altered the earth or left deposits of physical remains, and may be either prehistoric-era (before European contact) or historic-era (after European contact) in origin. Such places in California are typically associated with either Native American or Euro-American occupation of the area. The entire City of Coachella can be considered sensitive for archaeological resources.
Additionally, Site 1 is identified by the County of Riverside as being noncontiguous to the west and south of tribal land.3
4.4.3 Hazardous Materials
Hazardous materials were evaluated by reviewing databases of hazardous materials facilities/sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.4 None of the three sites is located on a facility/site that is included on a list of hazardous materials facilities/sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. However, Site 2 is adjacent to a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Cleanup Site located at 85509 Grapefruit Boulevard. The LUST Cleanup Site is identified by the State Water Resource Control Board as “Open – Eligible for Closure” as of October 22, 2024.
The “Open – Eligible for Closure” designation indicates corrective action at the site has been determined to be completed and any remaining petroleum constituents from the release are considered to be low threat to human health, safety, and the environment; the case is going through the process of being closed.5
4.4.4 Geotechnical Conditions
Geotechnical conditions for the three sites were evaluated using fault information from the California Department of Conservation and geotechnical conditions presented in the City’s General Plan EIR.6, 7 Geotechnical conditions at the three sites are somewhat similar due to relative proximity of the sites to each other (all within approximately 4 miles of one another). The three sites are each located within 2 to 2.5 miles west of the San Andreas Fault. Site 3 is located the farthest from the San Andreas Fault at approximately 2.5 miles away. The three sites have a similar, high level of liquefaction susceptibility.
Each site has a low potential for landslides due to lack of slope. None of the sites is within an AlquistPriolo Fault Zone. 3 County of Riverside, Map My County, https://gis1.countyofriverside.us/Html5Viewer/?viewer=MMC_Public.

4.4.5 Noise and Vibration
The potential for noise/vibration impacts were evaluated by assessing the presence of possible sensitive noise receivers, such as residences, hospitals, and schools, in the vicinity through assessing the surrounding land uses. Land uses were identified utilizing the City’s Official Zoning Map and through review of Google Earth imagery.8
Site 1 is primarily surrounded by vacant lands designated for industrial uses to the east and commercial uses to the west, with primarily single-family residential uses beyond. Site 1 is located within a quartermile northeast of Cesar Chavez Elementary School. Site 2 has primarily agricultural lands to the east, and a mix of commercial and residential land uses to the west. Site 2 is located approximately 0.3 mile northeast of Palm View Elementary School and Coachella Valley Adult School. Site 3 has lands primarily designated for heavy industrial uses to the east and general commercial used to the west with residential uses beyond. Site 3 is not within a 0.25 mile of any schools. All three sites are within a quarter mile of existing residential uses, which are considered a sensitive noise-receiver.
4.4.6 Flooding
Flooding risk was assessed using the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Hazard Zones.9 None of the sites is mapped within FEMA flood hazard zones. In addition, field observations found vegetation within the existing ROW, which indicates the presence of water and suggests that the railroad currently has some drainage challenges, particularly at Site 3. However, these are assumed to be mitigated by planned drainage improvements by the City along Grapefruit Boulevard, which will create similar conditions across all three sites.

Overall
4.5 Accessibility/Connectivity
Accessibility and connectivity criteria include Pedestrian Connectivity, Bicycle Connectivity, Transit Connectivity, Auto Connectivity, and Crossing Potential. The project team analyzed several factors related to each criterion including current conditions, potential for changes to existing systems, and station layout plans.
4.5.1 Pedestrian Connectivity
For Pedestrian Connectivity, the project team looked at current pedestrian facilities including sidewalks and crosswalks, traffic safety statistics for crashes involving pedestrians, and the number of origins and destinations within a half-mile walking distance from the proposed station sites. This analysis included a desktop survey of sidewalks and identification of trip attractors/generators, as well as reviewing the total walkable area as shown in the half-mile walkshed maps included in the existing

conditions report. The team analyzed safety statistics from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) for the latest five years available (July 2019 through June 2024) within a half-mile radius of each station site.
Site 1 has lower pedestrian connectivity due to the presence of the shopping center, which limits the amount of area around it easily accessible by a pedestrian, and the highest incidence of crashes involving pedestrians (8). Site 2 has the best overall pedestrian connectivity due to the Old Town street grid of the neighborhood to the west but had the second highest incidence of crashes involving pedestrians (4). However, these safety statistics may be attributable to the density of the street network in the area. Site 3 has the lowest overall pedestrian connectivity due to a lack of destinations within a half mile and an overall lack of development near the site. The site had the lowest incidence of crashes involving pedestrians (1); however, these safety statistics are likely due to the minimal number of streets present within a half-mile radius.
Figure 8 through Figure 10 show the existing half-mile walking routes currently possible from the stations.

4.5.2 Bicycle Connectivity
For Bicycle Connectivity, the project team looked at current and planned bicycle facilities as well as traffic safety statistics for crashes involving bicyclists. This analysis included a desktop survey of bicycle facilities and TIMS data within a half-mile radius of each station site.
All station sites will be served directly by the Connect Coachella Project, a Class I Bike Lane parallel to Highway 111/Grapefruit Boulevard on the eastern side of the roadway. Site 2 has the highest level of bicycle connectivity with existing bike facilities in the area, but also has the highest incidence of crashes involving cyclists (8). Site 1 has some bike infrastructure nearby, but large roads and heavy traffic make biking somewhat difficult in the area, and Site 1 has the second highest incidence of crashes involving cyclists (6). Site 3 has little bike infrastructure and had the lowest incidence of crashes involving cyclists (1), likely due to a lack of bike activity in the area.
4.5.3 Transit Connectivity
For Transit Connectivity, the project team looked at several factors based on existing transit service and potential for rerouting transit services in the future. These factors included existing bus stop proximity, number of existing routes nearby, the frequency of existing services, and the feasibility of modifications to existing routes to serve each station site.
As shown in Figure 11, Site 1 is the only one with existing bus service adjacent to the site (Line 1EV), but rerouting other routes would be circuitous, and the limited space available between Grapefruit Boulevard and the railroad tracks limits the provision of bus facilities. Site 2 is less than half a mile from the Coachella Transit Hub at 4th Street and Cesar Chavez Street, which serves three different SunLine routes (Lines 1EV, 6, and 8), and potentially rerouting some or all these routes to serve the station directly would not add substantial cost. Site 3 is the farthest from any existing transit and would require an extensive mid-route rerouting of Route 8 and/or an extension of Route 1EV of over a mile in each direction.

4.5.4 Auto Connectivity
For Auto Connectivity, the project team calculated distances from Highway 86, north-south arterials (excluding Grapefruit Boulevard), and east-west arterials, as well as analyzed overall crash data from TIMS within a one-mile radius of each station site.
Site 1 is the closest to major arterials and Highway 86 and has the second highest incidence of overall crashes within one mile (130), but access would be difficult due to the presence of the non-standard Y-intersection at Grapefruit Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Street nearby and the limited space available between Grapefruit Boulevard and the railroad tracks, making parking access difficult. Site 2 is the second closest to major arterials and provides convenient access to two east-west arterials via Grapefruit Boulevard. The site had the highest incidence of overall crashes within one mile (154), but this is likely due to the density of the street network in the area. Site 3 is the farthest from Highway 86 and north-south arterials. The site had the lowest incidence of overall crashes within one mile (57), but this is likely due to the minimal number of streets present in the area.
4.5.5 Crossing Potential
For Crossing Potential, the project team analyzed the suitability of land on the east side of the railroad tracks for potential future development, as well as existing and planned development and facilities.

Sites 1 and 3 have limited potential for development on the east side of the railroad tracks, with predominantly industrial land uses present and, in the case of Site 3, minimal undeveloped land. Site 2 has the best potential for development on the east side of the railroad tracks, with City plans to provide municipal services to the area and the future Community Resilience Center on Peter Rabbit Lane.

Rating Justification
Pedestrian
Connectivity
Site 1 is walkable to several retail centers but
does not have direct routes to the residential
neighborhoods behind them. The street grid
and mix of uses in Pueblo Viejo are highly
conducive to walking to Site 2. Site 3 has very
little within walking distance.
Bicycle
Connectivity
All sites will have north-south bicycle access via
Grapefruit Boulevard. Site 1 has bicycle access
to Cesar Chavez Street. Site 2 is bikeable from
most of the city. Site 3 has the least
development within cycling distance.
Transit
Connectivity
Site 1 has existing transit service from
SunLine’s primary East Valley Route (1EV).
Site 2 has an 1EV stop ⅓ mile away, and
service could be rerouted to the station. Site 3
has no bus routes nearby and extending
existing routes to the station would be more
disruptive than for Site 2.
Auto
Connectivity
All sites will have north-south auto access via
Grapefruit Boulevard and are close to an eastwest arterial. Access to Site 1 presents challenges due to non-standard intersections.
Site 3 is farthest from the Cesar Chavez Street.
Crossing
Potential
Sites 1 and 3 have minimal development on the
east side to the railroad to connect to and
would not have strong street connections. Site
2 could connect Pueblo Viejo to the future
Community Resilience Center as well as other
uses via Peter Rabbit Lane.

4.6 Equity and Environmental Justice
Social equity and environmental justice factors were evaluated utilizing CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data for the Census tract associated with each potential site.10 Figure 12 shows the percentile scores of Census tracts surrounding the railroad within Coachella. CalEnviroScreen 4.0 uses environmental, health, and socioeconomic information to produce scores for every Census tract in the state to identify California communities that are most affected by pollution.11 An area with a high score is one that experiences a much higher pollution burden than areas with low scores. The data from Census tract with the higher CalEnviroScreen 4.0 score have been utilized for this analysis.
Figure 12. CalEnviroScreen Percentiles by Census Tract (Placeholder) Each site is within a community characterized as a Senate Bill 535 Disadvantaged Community.12 The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) defines a Disadvantaged Community based on several criteria, including geographic, socioeconomic, public health, and environmental hazard factors. 10 California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, CalEnviroScreen 4.0 Data, https://oehha.ca.gov/ calenviroscreen/maps-data/download-data.

Specifically, CalEPA identifies Disadvantaged Communities as areas that fall into one of the following categories: 1) Census tracts receiving the highest 25 percent of overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0; 2) Census tracts lacking overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 due to data gaps but receiving the highest 5 percent of cumulative pollution burden scores; 3) Census tracts identified in the 2017 designation as disadvantaged, regardless of their scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0; or 4) Lands under the control of federally recognized Tribe.
4.6.1 Station Area Demographics
CalEnviroScreen 4.0 Scores
Site 2 has the highest CalEnviroScreen 4.0 score of 48.71 out of 100, with a percentile score of 86.38, indicating this score is higher than 85 to 90 percent of other Census tracts within the state. Site 3 has the lowest CalEnviroScreen 4.0 score of 37.72 out of 100, with a percentile score of 71.65.
Population
Site 1 has the highest population count at 6,818. Site 3 has the lowest population count at 4,381.
Age
Site 1 has the greatest percentage of residents between the ages of 10 and 64 at 80.8 percent. Site 3 has the lowest percentage of residents between the ages of 10 and 64 at 75 percent. Site 2 has the highest percentage of elderly residents, above the age of 64, at 11.94 percent. Site 1 has the lowest percentage of elderly population at 8.13 percent.
Education
Site 2 has the highest percentage of residents over the age of 25 with less than a high school education at 60.8 percent. Site 1 has the lowest percentage in this category with 41.8 percent of the population over 25 with less than a high school education.
Poverty Level
Site 2 has the highest percentage of the population living two times below the federal poverty level at
63.7 percent. Site 1 has the lowest percentage of the population living two times below the federal poverty level at 48.8 percent.
4.6.2 Potential for Community and Business Impacts
Several businesses operate in the strip of land between the existing tracks and Grapefruit Boulevard from approximately Cesar Chavez Street to 9th Street. The Coachella Valley Rail program has the potential to impact all these businesses through construction of a third main track, which would likely pass through central Coachella to reach the layover facility regardless of which station site is selected.
For all three sites, the third main track would likely pass through central Coachella to reach the preferred layover facility location. This would impact two structures north of Avenue 50, the Coachella

Container Park, and five businesses between Avenue 50 and 8th Street. For Sites 1 and 3, businesses in the ROW in the Pueblo Viejo area may be able to continue operating in the reduced footprint between Grapefruit and the new 3rd main, but Site 2 would entirely displace one business between 2nd and 5th Streets.

4.7 Ridership Potential
The number of residents and workers expected to be within the areas surrounding each potential station site, shown in Table 12, was estimated based on planned land use and intensity. Underlying calculations are attached in Appendix A. The number of people expected to be present in area around Site 2 is about double that in the areas surrounding Sites 1 and 3, and the likelihood of ridership in urban places like Pueblo Viejo is greater than in low-density suburban neighborhoods and industrial areas.

4.7.1 Key Generators
To evaluate key trip generators, the number of businesses within a half-mile radius of each station site was analyzed. Data was sourced from Esri Community Analysis. Each site was then assigned a rating on a scale from “Worse” to “Better.” As shown in Table 13, Site 2 Pueblo Viejo received a “Better” rating due to its higher number of trip generators. Site 1 Gateway was rated “Better,” while Tyler Street received a “Worse” rating.

4.8 Costs
4.8.1 Capital
The elements of the station and layover facility would be similar across all sites, but access to the layover facility for Site 3 would require additional infrastructure compared to Sites 1 and 2. If the layover facility option on the west side of the tracks is chosen, it would need to be placed slightly farther south for Station Site 3, increasing the length of track construction. Additionally, if direct access from all three tracks is needed, a new control point and two additional crossovers would be required. If the facility is placed on the east side south of Avenue 52, the additional control point and crossovers would likely be required given that passenger service is likely to primarily be focused on the third main track on the

west side of the ROW. Alternatively, an east side facility could be placed north of the existing crossover on vacant land near Harrison Street, but this would require an additional turnout and acquisition of land outside the existing ROW.
4.8.2 Maintenance
Station and layover facility elements would be similar at each stie, without differences in ongoing maintenance needs. As described above, Site 3 would increase the infrastructure investment required to provide access to the layover facility, creating additional track length and crossovers that would need to be maintained on an ongoing basis to support rail service.
4.8.3 Right-of-Way
All sites are narrow, but Site 1 is severely limited by the available space between Grapefruit Boulevard and the tracks and may require acquisition of land outside the ROW to accommodate station access features. As described in Section (4.6.2), construction of the third main track would impact several businesses regardless of site selection, and Site 2 would require entire displacement of an existing business within the railroad ROW. The City owns a parcel east of Site 2, which will be used for the future Community Resilience Center and could potentially provide cost efficiency if the station is expanded outside the ROW. Site 3 is vacant within the ROW and adjacent parcels are also vacant.

5.2 Gateway Center Station Site
Site 1, near Gateway Center, can accommodate the new track and platforms required for a station, and does not present challenges for train operations. However, the ROW at this site is very narrow, and it may not be possible to provide the necessary parking, bus access, and station building between the tracks and Grapefruit Boulevard, and further expansion would be severely limited. Nearby tribal land presents a potential environmental constraint for cultural resources and a nearby school is a potential sensitive receptor for noise. Existing development on the west side of the railroad is not

transit oriented and unlikely to redevelop, while vacant land on the east side is zoned industrial. The station would be located near an existing transit stop and be located near several major arterials but has less pedestrian and bicycle connectivity than Site 2. As a result of lower connectivity and less intense and fewer transit-oriented uses, this site is expected to have lower ridership potential than Site
2. 5.3 Pueblo Viejo Station Site
Site 2 in Pueblo Viejo presents the fewest engineering constraints and can accommodate all station elements. The existing and planned land use around this site is most compatible with a rail station, and the existing street grid within Pueblo Viejo is supportive of multimodal access to the station. The General Plan recognizes the benefits that a rail station could bring to Pueblo Viejo and includes a goal establishing a combined bus and rail transportation center in the existing downtown area.
The location within the historic downtown presents the potential to encounter historic resources and a nearby school is a potential sensitive receptor for noise.
5.4 Tyler Street Station Site
Site 3 near Tyler Street is operationally feasible but would require the most infrastructure investment.
The surrounding area is largely vacant and the street network provides limited connectivity to key destinations. While vacant land is a potential opportunity for new development, land around the station is largely zoned for industrial uses. Based on limited existing and planned development around the site, this station site is expected to have lower ridership potential than Site 2. 6 Recommended Site
Site 2, Pueblo Viejo, would support the City’s existing downtown area in Pueblo Viejo while also facilitating economic development on the east side of the railroad. Existing uses and future development provide a market to attract ridership. This presents the most potential benefits and fewest engineering constraints and is therefore recommended as the City’s preferred site to be carried forward in subsequent phases of this study, which will develop station area plans and preliminary station design plans.

STAFF REPORT
2/26/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Andrew Simmons, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates for an amount of $174,490 to provide design services for Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion – City Project P-31.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment #1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates for an amount of $174,490 to provide design services for Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion – City Project P-31.
BACKGROUND:
On September 8, 2021, the City of Coachella was awarded a Statewide Park Program grant in the amount of $8,454,600 for a new park. The City’s original park site location was on Avenue 52 between La Ponderosa Drive and Hernandez Street for Central Park. After the award, Central Park was deemed ineligible for the grant funds due to eminent domain proceedings for a portion of the park land. City Staff worked cooperatively with Statewide Parks program staff to evaluate alternative park locations within the City that would qualify for the awarded grant. The expansion of Rancho Las Flores Park was eligible for the entire grant amount and the award was transferred for the expansion of Rancho Las Flores Park.
The project will include many new amenities and open spaces for all age groups including the City’s first dog park, an amphitheater, splash pad, sports courts, playground equipment and fitness equipment. There will also be walking paths, open green space and a café building. The park will be complimented by landscaping and lighting throughout the park. The expansion will complete the remaining land at Rancho Las Flores Park.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
On July 26, 2023 City Council authorized an agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates for professional landscape architecture design services for Central Park. The change in project location added additional design services and time needed to complete the design. Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion is more than twice the area of Central Park and therefore requires additional design services as described in the request for contract amendment . City Staff recommends authorizing
Item 11.
amendment #1 for these additional landscape architecture design services for Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for these services will be reimbursed by Prop 68. No fiscal impact to FY 24/25 budget.

RE: Contract Amendment Request for expanded Landscape Architecture Design Services for Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion.
Dear Andrew,
Albert A. WEBB Associates (WEBB) is very excited to be part of the Rancho Las Flores Park Expansion. We feel this design has developed into a very unique opportunity for the community of Coachella.
Per our conversation after the City Council presentation on March 19, 2024, I had mentioned that we were reaching our budget limit as our fee was determined by the size of the original park site of 6.7 acres. You suggested we keep track of the overages, and once the project goes out to bid, we can provide a change order request for construction phase support. At this point in time, we have exceeded our original contract amount and would like to submit a contract amendment for the additional work. Due the addition of the Futsol court recently, we will keep those design change fees separate. Please see the attached for the current breakdown.
Sincerely,
ALBERT A. WEBB ASSOCIATES

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Andrew Simmons, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with KOA Corporation, Inc. for an amount of $47,657 to provide grant writing services for the improvements of Avenue 50 from Calhoun Street to Cesar Chavez Street – City Project ST-93.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment #4 to the Professional Services Agreement with KOA Corporation, Inc. for an amount of $47,657 to provide grant writing services for the improvements of Avenue 50 from Calhoun Street to Cesar Chavez Street – City Project ST-93.
BACKGROUND:
The total cost to complete improvements for this project is an amount of $9,250,000, currently there is a reimbursement agreement between CVAG and The City of Coachella to provide funding with the regional share of 75% (CVAG) for an amount $6,937,500 of the total cost. The Project is among the Top 10 projects listed in the 2015 Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS).
The City is the lead agency for this proposed work. The project will widen the existing street and construct concrete curb and gutter, and landscape median islands within areas where none exists between Calhoun Street and Cesar Chavez Street. The finished project will complete the planned widening of Avenue 50 to two traffic lanes in each direction, and include pedestrian, bicycle and drainage facilities. Phase 1 of the Avenue 50 widening project will include Calhoun Street to Pavon Palma and Phase 2 of the project will be from Avenida De Oro to Cesar Chavez Street.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
On January 22, 2025, City Council approved an Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for an amount of $34,945 to provide grant writing services. However, shortly after the approval of that amendment, and prior to the ratification of the Amendment, the Federal Administration made significant changes to the entire Raise grant procedures and policies. Due to this significant revision, the grant work had to be redone and revised to meet the current federal guidelines. This additional work resulted in the grant writing project to exceed the original estimated budget of $34,945. The revised Amendment No 4 budget for the completed grant writing operation totaled $47,657.
Item 12.
On October 9, 2019 City Council authorized an agreement with KOA Corporation for professional design services. The consultant has completed the environmental document and finalized project scope, which includes right-of-way acquisition. Phase 1 of the Avenue 50 widening project is currently under construction and phase 2 is in design. Due to increasing R/W costs the City is seeking additional funds to complete this project.
City Staff recommends authorizing the amendment for KOA to provide grant writing services for the 2025 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant. The Office of the Secretary (OST) posted the U.S Department of Transportation (DOT) FY 2025 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant Program on November 1, 2024. The funding application is due at 11:59 pm EST on January 30, 2025.
The goal of the RAISE program is to fund eligible surface transportation projects that will have a significant local or regional impact that advance the Departmental priorities of safety, equity, climate and sustainability, and workforce development, job quality, and wealth creation, consistent with law, and as described in the Department’s Strategic Plan and in executive orders. The FY 2025 RAISE BIL funds have appropriated $1.5 billion. The DOT will distribute these funds on a competitive basis in a manner consistent with the selection criteria.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for these services will be reimbursed at the rate previously specified of 75% CVAG ($35,742.75), and 25% City ($11,914.25) from Measure A funds. No fiscal impact to FY 24/25 budget.

Request for Budget Addendum on Final Grant Writing Services through the 2025 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE)/BUILD Grant Dear Mr. Arroyo:
KOA, A Lochner Company (KOA) respectfully requests the City of Coachella to consider providing a budget addendum to our existing contract. The contract was approved for $35,000, which is the combined total of the proposal submitted to prepare the draft RAISE/BUILD grant application ($24,753) and proposal addendum to produce the final application ($10,247). We request that an additional $12,657 in budget be added to the existing contract for the tasks mentioned in the following pages. If this addendum is approved, the total contract for services for the RAISE/BUILD grant application will be $47,657.
These additional tasks will help the City of Coachella provide a competitive grant application for the RAISE/BUILD grant program. Although these tasks were not included in the original scope of the approved contract, these were key tasks that were critical to finalizing the grant application.
Sincerely,
KOA | A Lochner Company

ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK TASKS
Revisions to the Final Grant Application due to the January 24, 2025, NOFO Amendment The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) amendment on Friday, January 24, 2025, approximately less than one week before the grant submission deadline. The updated RAISE grant program guidelines within the NOFO amendment (now referred to as the “BUILD” grant program) required extensive coordination and time from KOA staff to revise the entire grant application within a short timeframe.
Coordination with City Staff on Project Limits and Development of Updated Cost Estimates Extensive coordination with City Staff was needed to discuss and clarify the project limits. As a result, new cost estimates needed to be developed to reflect the confirmed project limits as well as the proposed improvements mentioned within the grant application narrative. There was substantial time and effort required from KOA engineering staff to provide an updated and detailed cost estimate by the grant application submission deadline.
Development of Additional Exhibits and Graphics
As mentioned above, extensive coordination with City staff to confirm the project limits also led to the development of additional exhibits and graphics as part of the application submittal. These exhibits and graphics were created to reflect the proposed improvements outlined in the detailed cost estimates and within the grant application narrative.
A revised fee spreadsheet, which includes the above tasks and the total costs of services to prepare the RAISE/BUILD application is provided below.

SUBJECT: Utility Relocation and Reimbursement Agreement with Imperial Irrigation District (IID) to relocate IID facilities as a result of the Construction of a new Bridge over Whitewater Channel at Avenue 50, City Project ST-69.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Utility Relocation and Reimbursement Agreement with Imperial Irrigation District (IID) to relocate IID facilities as a result of the Construction of a new Bridge over Whitewater Channel at Avenue 50, City Project ST-69 , subject to reasonable and acceptable minor modifications by IID and as approval to form by City Attorney.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The Avenue 50 Bridge Project improvements include realignment and widening of Avenue 50 from the existing two-lane roadway to a six-lane major arterial, and realignment of Tyler Street.
The project will also improve public safety and mobility by constructing a new bridge spanning over the Whitewater Channel, replacing the existing low water crossing and eliminating floodrelated hazards during inclement weather events.
A Utility relocation and reimbursement agreement is required prior to the issuance of right-of-way certification from the Department of Transportation. As part of these improvements, existing IID utilities within the right-of-way are required to be relocated. IID has agreed to accommodate the City’s project by undertaking the relocation of its facilities, provided the City reimburses IID for all of its cost. The total cost of this work is estimated to be $1,200,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact or additional appropriations needed. The cost associated with the Utility relocation and reimbursement agreement is included in the FY 24/25 CIP budget for the Avenue 50 Bridge Project, ST-69. The agreement will be covered by HBP funds ($1,062,360), CVAG ($103,230) and SB1 Fund 109 ($34,410).

SUBJECT: Authorize a Community-Based Grant to the Theresa A. Mike Foundation in the Amount of $1,000 to Support its College Scholarship Program STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider awarding a Community-Based Grant (CBG) to the Theresa A. Mike Foundation in the amount of $1,000 to support its college scholarship program.
BACKGROUND:
Established in 1998, the Theresa A. Mike Scholarship Foundation is a nonprofit organization that awards individual scholarships to full time, enrolled tribal members of any tribe across the United States, and/or full-time non-native students from the Coachella Valley and the Morongo Basin. It was established in honor of Theresa Mike’s legacy, who was a member of the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians located in Coachella and descendant from the Lummi Nation in Bellingham, Washington. The Scholarship honors her commitment to developing a sense of cultural richness, history and future for the people of her tribe. Since it was created, the Foundation has awarded over $1,000,000 to help deserving scholars fund their educational dreams.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
This scholarship will be awarded to an outstanding City of Coachella resident enrolled in a local community college or university interested in supporting their community. Recipients are usually students who demonstrate extra-curricular activities and community service that relate to their education. In addition to the City’s support, every year the Foundation hosts a fashion show that serves as its primary fundraiser supported by in-kind donations, raffles, silent auctions, and sponsorship sales. This year’s event will take place on June 14, 2025. All proceeds go towards the scholarship fund. The Theresa A. Mike Scholarship Foundation will select its scholarship candidate by June 30, 2025 in time for the Fall semester.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jaime Arroyo, Grants Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize a Community-Based Grant to the Friends of the Children – Coachella Valley in the Amount of $1,000 to Support its Youth Program for Meals STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider awarding a Community-Based Grant (CBG) to the Friends of the Children – Coachella Valley in the amount of $1,000 to support its youth program for meals.
BACKGROUND:
Friends of the Children–Coachella Valley is part of a national network of Friends of the Children chapters across the United States that impact generational change by empowering youth who are facing the greatest obstacles through relationships with professional mentors. Friends of the Children connects children – all of whom have unique talents – to a paid, professional mentor called a Friend. Friends are trained to support the agency’s youth to succeed, despite the extremely challenging situations most experience, from as early as age 4 through high school graduation.
With a distinct and proven model, Friends of the Children has revolutionized the youth mentoring field by creating the first and only long-term professional mentoring program in the country. Each child gets a dedicated, one-on-one Friend who listens to their hopes and dreams. Friends empower our youth to set and achieve their goals. Friends also create meaningful experiences that empower youth to build life skills and make healthy choices while exploring the child's diverse talents and interests. They are skilled at building and nurturing relationships with youth.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Many of the youth selected to participate in the Friends of the Children – Coachella Valley program face multiple risk factors. Currently, the program is serving 12 children from Valley View and Palm View Elementary in the Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD).
With food insecurity being a common issue with these families, the program provides meals to the youth that are mentored and their caregivers while on outing and/or in emergent situations.
The $1,000 request will go towards the purchase of said meals. All meals and food will be
Item 16.
purchased from the Coachella area, which in turn will support the community. The program also applies for funding through other avenues and solicits donations during community awareness presentation in order to keep being able to provide supplemental food.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Award a Community Based Grant in the amount of $1,000
2. Do not award a Community Based Grant
FISCAL IMPACT:
Should the City Council approve the staff recommendation, the Community-Based Grant Program account will be reduced by $1,000.

Due to the food insecurity we are seeing with our families, we will use the $1000 to provide meals for the youth we mentor and their caregivers while on outings and/or in emergent situations.
We requested a $5000 grant from the City of Indio to assist in providing meals and food support.
We are continuing to apply for funds and solicit donations at community awareness presentations to allow us to provide supplemental food and meals when meeting with our families and youth.
We are serving 12 youth from Valley View and Palm View in CVUSD and will be serving 12 youth from Hoover and Roosevelt in DSUSD. We will also be purchasing the meals and food from businesses in the Indio and Coachella area, so further supporting the community.
We mentor youth for twelve years starting at the age of five and provide supportive services to their families. The youth we selected for Friends of the Children are facing multiple risk factors and our support hopes to reduce risk factors and increase their protective factors Karrie Schaaf Executive Director

BACKGROUND:
On February 10, 2025, the City of Coachella entered into a standard agreement with the Strategic Growth Council (SGC) for the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) grant award in the amount of $22,125,000. The TCC Grant Agreement is strictly between the SGC and The City and not its partners. As part of the administrative process required for executing the TCC Grant Agreement, the City was required to enter into sub-recipient grant agreements with its partner organizations to memorialize their roles, responsibilities, and funding allocations in order to implement key components of the “Coachella Prospera” projects and plans. The sub-recipient agreements must be executed prior to the start of any grant-funded work.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
City staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into subrecipient agreements between the City and its Coachella Prospera partners. The sub-recipient agreement outlines conditions for beginning work, reporting requirements, payment provisions, invoicing, monitoring and oversight, recordkeeping, compliance, insurance, non-performance, and other conditions. The term of this agreement is February 1, 2025 to March 31, 2029.
Additionally, the following exhibits are also included in the subrecipient agreement:
